Abstract

 
This study presents the economic, environmental and social importance of the honey bee industry, which provides job opportunities within the community, where honey bees are considered among the projects that do not require large capital and have a quick return, and enjoy economic importance because of their many and many products, some of which are included in therapeutic medical preparations And food products, in addition to what bees provide in achieving sustainable development by providing job opportunities and eliminating unemployment, as honey bees help improve livelihoods and achieve sustainable income for low-income people that can contribute to promoting social and economic inclusion and institutional development.
This study discussed the current situation of bee honey production and consumption in Egypt and studying the determinants of bee honey production and consumption during the period from 2007-2022 and then predicting the internal and external variables specific to the consumption of honey bees in Egypt until 2022, in order to achieve the objectives of the study the application of the Delphi method and preparation was used. The field side included a list of the questionnaire directed to the sample members, which amounted to 61 individuals. Therefore, the researchers relied on the inductive and statistical method in order to verify the validity of the study’s hypotheses.
The study reached the following results:
1) There is a statistically significant relationship between sustainable development and environmental obstacles to the honey bee industry, due to the presence of a statistically significant negative correlation at the 0.01 level of significance between the sustainable development of the bee honey industry and the environmental obstacles to the honey bee industry, where the value of the correlation coefficient is (-0.679).
2) There is a statistically significant relationship between sustainable development and the productive and economic obstacles to the honey bee industry, due to the presence of a negative correlation statistically significant relationship at the significance level of 0.05, and 0.01 between the sustainable development of the honey bee industry and the productive and economic obstacles to the honey industry represented in (bees - operations Beekeeping - trade - administrative factors), where the values of the correlation coefficient ranged between (-0.386, -0.672)
